大多数关于移民的研究都集中在移民以及移民对东道国社会的影响。但对于每一个离开原籍国的移民来说，也有他/她“留下”的家人和亲人。这种地理上的分离对双方的福祉都有影响，并且当涉及到受抚养的儿童或老人时，还涉及复杂的跨国照顾安排。然而，直到过去十年，研究才将注意力转向“留守者”或留下来的人。本章概述了最近的文献，并讨论了移民对留守儿童和老年人的影响。本章重点讨论这些研究调查的主题，即移民对原籍国居民福祉的影响。福祉被广泛定义为精神和身体健康、教育、社会行为、家庭劳动和经济安全。回顾了定性人类学和社会学的深入研究，以及更大规模的定量社会学、人口学和心理学研究。
Most studies on migration focus on migrants and the effects migration has on the host society. But for every migrant that leaves his or her origin country, there are also family members and loved ones that he/she ‘leaves behind’. This geographic separation has well-being consequences on both sides and involves complex transnational caring arrangements when it concerns dependent children or elderly. Yet, only in the past decade has research turned its attention to the ‘left behind’ or stayers. This chapter provides an overview of this recent literature and discusses the effects migration has for stayer children and elderly. The chapter focuses on the main topic investigated by these studies, namely, the effect of migration on the well-being of those who stay in the origin country. Well-being is broadly defined as mental and physical health, education, social behaviour, household labour and economic security. Qualitative anthropological and sociological in-depth studies are reviewed, as are larger-scale quantitative sociological, demographic and psychological studies.
